Comprehension Passage
In a general reaction A → B, the concentration of reactant A decreases over time as it is converted into product B. The plot of concentration of A versus time is shown in the graph. The shape of the graph reveals important information about the reaction order and the rate at which the concentration of A decreases.
From the graph, we observe a linear relationship between the concentration of A and time.
What does the shape of the graph represent for the given reaction.
1
The reaction follows second-order kinetics.
2
The reaction follows zero-order kinetics.
3
The reaction follows first-order kinetics.
4
The reaction is at equilibrium.
